Michelle Yeoh May Captain Next CBS STAR TREK Spinoff

Crazy Rich Asians star Michelle Yeoh is in talks to see her STAR TREK: DISCOVERY character be spun off into her own series.

Yeoh was the first actress cast on Star Trek: Discovery. She will return in season two; the new spinoff series would likely follow her adventures in Starfleet's Section 31 division.

If the deal comes through, that series would become the fifth overall in CBS All Access' Star Trekfranchise. CBS All Access just recently made a two-season, straight-to-series order for the animated comedy "Star Trek: Lower Decks."
